S4E1: Take The Money And Run | Howard Hughes & Jeff Bezos and MacKenzie Bezos

What’s in your wallet? Well, if you’re one of our subjects this week, the answer is piles and piles of money! First up, Alicia has the dirt on a towering figure of the 20th century, Howard Hughes. Hughes was a titan of industry, a Hollywood mogul, an engineer and inventor, a pilot and aircraft designer, and one of the richest people in the world during his flamboyant but ultimately tragic life.

Next, Stacie has the dish on a modern version of the same type of mind: Jeff Bezos, whose 25-year-long marriage to novelist MacKenzie Bezos ended this year. They split a $137 billion fortune and fended off an extortion plot allegedly masterminded by Saudi Arabia. It’s quite the tale.

This asshole spent a bunch of taxpayer dollars to fly to a football game, sit in the stands for a few minutes, and then leave when some black athletes took a knee to highlight the frequency of state-sanctioned murder. I’m sure you can find a chair to sit your ass in, Mike. Do.
